Accepted Insurance

Armstrong Center for Medicine and Behavioral Health works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Easily the worst hospital experience I’ve ever had. I arrived to acmh by ambulance, in which they placed an IV. They stuck the needle in my arm and then decided to try and find the vein, while digging and completely blowing my vein. I was put in a room and the nurse came in and I explained everything that was going on, how I have POTS and was experiencing extreme lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, a pounding headache, and every movement I made I was about to lose consciousness. I was then left in the room for an excessive amount of time, my call bell did not work, I was not even given a pillow, and when I asked for something for my headache and nausea they never came to give me anything. They said they were going to give me fluids but after being left and waiting forget again, I decided to let them know I was just leaving. They put on my discharge papers I was there for a simple headache. 0/10 hospital, and very unprofessional there.

So I went to this ER because my pee was brown and had blood in my urine, I was vomiting blood as well and vomiting for 14 days. I had not drank water in 8 days and no food for 14. I couldn't get out of bed and could barely move I hadn't went to work on 7 days, my boss made me leave and go to hospital. My head hurt so bad it felt like it was on fire. a really awful feeling. A migraine from hell. So I go in, no one asks if I need a wheelchair even tho my BF is holding me up and we're about to fall because he's also holding our toddler. I hadn't eaten in two weeks, I was not able to hold any weight. So the nurse brings me to a room and says I think it's a sinus infection and here's antibiotics and eat a big meal before you take them. I said I can't eat. My pee is brown. With blood. Its not a sinus infection. She said oh well do you actually want me to do blood work or something? Don't get comfortable tho because we're very busy. Mahlmeister Joann is who prescribed the antibiotics and who hung up one me I believe since she is who signed all my paperwork and who's name is on the medication. So I said no it's fine I'll leave. So I left. Next day I still feel sick, my doctor said go back to the ER. So I call and talk to same nurse her name was something with an S. She was older like 50-60. I called and she said just try to sip Gatorade your fine stop complaining the blood will go away once you take antibiotics. I said I can't take the antibiotics tho. She said ok well I'm busy and she hung up!! This is Saturday. 16 days since I have eaten. I call my doctor and say what she said he said no go to St. Margaret. I know it's far but you need help and clearly this nurse needs fired. You need to report her when you get better. Ok so st Margaret's admits me for a few days, and says oh my gosh she doesn't even have bowels she hasn't eaten in so long. Gives me IVs, hydrate me, give me meds for the migraine, a few days later they discharge me and say you need to report that that nurse. So I filled out the surgery and no one has contacted me about this nurse. Someone has to contact me about this nurse. My kids all three under ten, one autistic, are crying like I'm scared mom is going to die she's lost 12 pounds, her eyes are yellow, crying please mom go to the hospital. Please. Like this lady needs fired. She didn't do any blood work no tests, no nothing. Just told me to leave. When I called days later and said I was still sick she told me to stop bothering her. She needs fired and I will file a suit if someone doesn't call me.

Don't go unless you have 8 hours to waste your time!! Came in with my son for a broken arm, waited for 5 hours in the waiting room on a Thursday and 10pm. Worthless! Went to childrens hospital to find out he had a fracture on his elbow. He got an xray and a cast put on within 3 hours.

Black Friday, 2024. My Papap died and my grandma went crazy and the family put her in this hospital because she wasn’t in a good mental state. They said they couldnt do anything about it if she doesn’t agree to anything.
